A few days ago i noticed an update for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I tried to install it today, it worked fine right up to the moment it asks to reboot the computer. Then after rebooting it starts up as normal update procedure however as it gets to 99% on Configuring Service Pack, it fails and I am left stuck at "Failure Configuring Service Pack, reverting changes. Please do not turn off your computer" for over 10 minutes then shuts down. Then on Bootup i notice nothing has changed and the same thing repeats. Please Help
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Ok guys after weeks of not replying back after i forgot bout this question, i have managed to get it working, but that was a few months after my laptop broke in which i had to reset to factory settings, which reset all the system updates done to the laptop, then when i tried installing IE 9 and Windows 7 service pack 1 they both succeeded without issues. Guess the whole problem the entire time was a faulty update
I completely agree with you, Wim.
I don't have the network infrastructure or the time to re-install W7 from the original disc. This should not be forced onto people.
If an upgrade is being released, it needs to be compatible with multiple setups and processors. If people run into such issues, Microdoft needs to release a new version of the SP which addresses these issues. All those self-made, stabbing in the dark solutions are causing further problems and potential risks.
Unbelievable!
After posting the previous message, I found that when I tried to display the Event Viewer, it came up and said that it may not have been installed properly! At that point I decided to call Microsoft support.
I just got off the phone with Microsoft. They wanted me to pay for a new support session since I could now boot my computer and the original problem was fixed. They said my warranty on my Windows 7 had expired. Actually, Microsoft Support hung up on me while they were in the process of giving me a new case number, as I explained again that this was still an update issue with SP1.
Well, I'm not getting the crashes any more, however the AMD video update has caused it's own problems. Ever since the update AMD Catalyst Control Center host application is crashing. I don't know if it's related, but Windows Media Center, something I consider a primary application has also stopped working. Both apps come pop up a Window that says the app has crashed and Windows is looking for a solution, then the popup goes away without doing anything. Kind of useless noise without any effect. I googled the Catalyst Control Center problem and it looks like AMD (ATI) and Microsoft are pointing at one another on who's fault it is. Needless to say, I don't care I just want my Win7 Ultimate 64-bit computer to work.
These Windows updates are killing me. I just get my computers working and stable then a new batch of updates comes out and problems start all over.
I ran into the same problem with Windows 7nSP 1. My PC does not even boot from cdrom. When starting ın safe mode it agaın returns to the "Stage 4 of 4 - Failure configuring service pack - reverting changes" . İt stays like this for hours. Even after power cycle - ın safe mode - it returns to the same window " bla bla reverting changes" I can not even enter BIOS to change bootorder to boot from cdrom.
Please help !
